Tasting notes El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías 2018

White wine Aged on its lees Vegan. 28 meses sobre lías and 48 meses en botella.

El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías 2018 is a white wine that captivates with its golden and brilliant allure. On the nose, it offers a burst of delightful aromas where notes of fresh peach, green apple, white flowers, and a subtle mineral hint intertwine. There are also scents of freshly baked bread, dried fruits, honey, and a touch of caramel. Upon tasting, it reveals a creamy and enveloping texture, with a vibrant acidity that imparts an unparalleled citrus freshness. Its finish is long and enduring, with a mineral and saline register that delights the senses. This wine is recommended for its complexity and balance, a result of the ageing on lees, which imparts that creamy and rounded touch. Its well-defined acidity makes it ideal for those who enjoy a fresh and lively wine, yet with depth and character. The 2018 vintage has been especially favourable, standing out for its balance between freshness and maturity.

About El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías

On the island of Lanzarote, located in the province of Las Palmas, lies Tinajo, arguably one of the most picturesque villages on the island. However, in this instance, Tinajo is of interest not for its charm (although it is charming) but for the quality of its volcanic, mineral-rich, and arid soils, which are among the freshest in the region. It is here that El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías is born, a white wine crafted from pre-phylloxera vineyards over 60 years old.
 
It seems that phylloxera, the tiny insect that arrived from America in the 19th century and devastated European vineyards, could not reach the Canary Islands. As a result, the island boasts nearly century-old vineyards, like those where El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías originates. Specifically, the variety cultivated is malvasía, a native grape of the area, selected from various plots, exhibiting a balanced acidity and a unique and distinctive profile. Indeed, discussing El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías is no trivial matter, as this particular wine was created to commemorate the winery's 250th anniversary.
 
El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías is harvested manually, in 18-kilogram boxes, and taken directly to the winery, where it is pressed with whole clusters (thereby avoiding tannin extraction). After obtaining the must and allowing it to settle for 24 hours, El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías is transferred to fermentation tanks where indigenous yeasts will carry out the transformation. Once processed into wine, El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías is left to rest: first on its fine lees for several years and then, once bottled, it is allowed to rest for several more years. The final touch for El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías comes from Idelfonso Aguilar, the creator of the label (which is derived from his work Bajo el Volcán).
 
El Grifo 250 Aniversario Malvasía Volcánica Lías captures the essence of Lanzarote, its light, its temperature, and its colour. Don't miss out!
